Single Rock of Impure Compound

a)One tablet of LSD that slips out of the offices of the CIA only to arrive in the hands of Timothy Leary. We could claim that this is the birth of what is called psychodelia or, to introduce the term into the realm of the social, what is best know as psychedelic culture. Since the mid fifties experimental communities and scenes had been searching for a liberating voice that will freed them from the main principles of modern living: transparency, standardization, control and the arrival of mind expanding drugs helped to reduce the gap between alternatives scenes and mainstream culture. After nearly a decade of counter movements, the young Americans had a tangible product to fight against Cold War paranoia and state violence and to crystallize their impulses of liberation. Yet, liberation did not come in the form of a common voice but rather a common experience: one/a non- grammatical reality saturated by acid and the brutal expansion of the senses. By the time psychodelia became a complement of hippie culture we already had a community rejoicing in new visions.
